(ILLUSTRATION)This photo illustration dated August 30, 2026 shows a Google map identifying Lake Ontario as "Lake America" in front of a photograph taken on August 27 of the Canadian flag flying over the lake in Toronto, Ontario. Google redesignated Lake Ontario as "Lake America" on maps seen by US users on August 30, 2026 after President Donald Trump announced he was renaming the body of water, with a Canadian official slamming the cross-border tensions as "absolutely backwards." People in Canada will still see the body of water labeled Lake Ontario, the Indigenous-rooted name used since the 17th century, on their devices and computers, the US-based tech giant said.

An excavator digs a trench in an attempt to extinguish a wildfire by spraying water and creating boundary trenches to prevent the flames from spreading in the Tumbang Nusa area of Pulang Pisau, Central Kalimantan, on August 30, 2026. Indonesia has intensified efforts to fight wildfires with cloud seeding and water bombing as thousands of people countrywide battle to breathe in the smoke and haze, officials said on August 28. More than five million people on Borneo and Sumatra islands were directly exposed to the risks of a putrid haze coming off dozens of fires across the vast archipelago, according to deputy health minister Dante Saksono Harbuwono.
